Chapter 296: Chapter 296 Meeting of Both Parents
Luo Qinghe’s parents and Bai Wei’s parents came in chatting and laughing, and although Fu Han had mentally prepared herself in advance, she still found the scene quite repulsive when it actually unfolded before her eyes.
Two people who were clearly not familiar with each other were smiling insincerely, a feeling that was even more uncomfortable than a forced, skin-deep smile.
But clearly, Luo Qinghe and Bai Wei didn’t feel the same; they seemed very happy to see their parents chatting away so harmoniously, even sporting foolish grins on their faces.
Fu Han couldn’t help but reflect on how love indeed seemed to have a magical power, capable of turning two smart people into fools without them even realizing it.
The meal had been served, and the red wine, specially brought by Li Huazhi from ’82, seemed to make the party of six relatively happy—of course, they might have been happier if Li Huazhi and his wife didn’t occasionally engage in conversation with He Xing and Fu Han.
As the feast was drawing to a close, Fu Xingbo finished the last bit of red wine in his glass and, with a smile, said to Li Huazhi, "Mr. Li, how about we make an agreement regarding the wedding of Bai Wei and Luo Qinghe? They will not wed anyone else, they will form their own little family while still being a part of our big family. How about that?"
Li Huazhi hadn’t yet responded when Luo Qiluo jumped in. "Mr. Fu, I think your proposal is very good. I believe that a family doesn’t necessarily need to live together. When they get married, our Li Family will buy them a villa, and let them live on their own."
"That can be arranged," Bai Qian said, not wanting to be left behind, "Our Fu Family will also buy them a villa, and then it’s up to them, they can live wherever they want."
The previously pleasant atmosphere in the private room had vanished, replaced by an uncomfortable tension. Fu Han tugged at He Xing’s hand under the table, her meaning implicit.
Seizing the chance, He Xing grabbed Fu Han’s wrist and whispered in her ear, "Don’t get excited. Let’s wait and see how things unfold."
His breath on Fu Han’s neck instantly turned to a sweeping heat that blazed across her face and neck, turning them red.
She tugged hard, trying to free herself from He Xing’s grasp, but he had clearly come better prepared and easily kept her under control.
The verbal sparring continued, and Bai Wei and Luo Qinghe finally confirmed the adage: what you fear is what you will face.
Both expressed that they didn’t need their parents to buy them a villa; they had plenty of their own money and didn’t need their parents to support them – they were quite capable of looking after their own family.
However, the next round of allocations had quietly begun. Li Huazhi suggested that after marriage, Luo Qinghe and Bai Wei should have several children, preferably at least one carrying the Li surname.
Before Fu Xingbo could even speak, Bai Qian had already jumped in, stating there would be no problem; it would be best if the couple had four children with each child bearing a different surname: Li, Luo, Bai, and Fu.
This proposal received unanimous approval from the four parents, with the sole objector being Bai Wei—because Luo Qinghe, lost in his own thoughts, was too happily smiling along.
The veins on Bai Wei’s forehead bulged as her face lost its permanently affixed smile, "If you want kids, go have them yourselves; I never even thought about having children."
Luo Qiluo grabbed this statement like an Imperial Sword, triumphantly telling Bai Qian, "Look at your daughter. She hasn’t even married into our family and is already saying she won’t have children. What daughter-in-law doesn’t bear children and carry on the family line?"
Fu Han felt extremely uncomfortable hearing this; she was a girl about to marry as well, yet the talk had already turned to having children—even suggesting four. What were they after, a daughter-in-law or a sow to birth a litter?
Indeed, Bai Wei finally couldn’t take anymore and stood up. She turned to Luo Qinghe, "Did you hear what your mom said? It’s getting more and more outrageous. Are you going to do anything about this?"
Luo Qinghe immediately turned to Luo Qiluo, "Mom, whether we get married and have children is between Bai Wei and me. Please don’t interfere too much, alright?"
His words were not harsh, but under the circumstances, it was difficult not to feel their prickly sting, especially with a suspected rival in love sitting opposite.
Luo Qiluo immediately flared up, pointing at Luo Qinghe’s nose as she scolded, "I’ve really raised an ingrate! You’re already treating me like this before you’re even married to her, what will become of us if you do tie the knot?"
"You really are speaking too far," Luo Qinghe didn’t back down a bit, and even the smile had vanished from his face, "Mom, who says one must have children upon getting married? I’ve never thought of becoming a father, so Bai Wei and I have chosen to be DINK (Double Income, No Kids). If you want grandchildren, urge my older brother to marry and have children sooner."
Bai Qian and Fu Xingbo exchanged a look, both clearly with something to say.
Seeing the situation take a turn for the worse, Fu Han quickly stood up, "Uncle and aunt, father and mother, may I say a word, please?"
All eyes turned to Fu Han – kind, malicious, grateful, annoyed, disdainful, and concerned.
Fu Han took in all the looks and spoke calmly, "You can’t expect to eat a whole fatty in one bite; we must take things slowly, right? They are the children you raised, and you know their playful and boisterous character. Now that they are following their parents’ advice and are ready to marry, shouldn’t we put the rest on hold for now? They are young; there’s really no rush about having children."
Her words struck a chord, not only with Fu Xingbo and Bai Qian, who nodded continuously, but even Li Huazhi and Luo Qiluo had nothing more to say.
The laborious lunch finally ended, and Fu Han now understood why people say getting married is painful and why so many couples break up just when it’s time to marry.
Being in love is about two people, but marriage truly becomes a matter of two families.
Her situation with He Xing was peculiar; Grandpa He could be considered a senior to both the bride and groom, making many issues smoother to handle, but it was different for Bai Wei and Luo Qinghe.
Just as the Lamborghini was about to start, Fu Han glanced around the underground parking garage and inadvertently saw Luo Qinghe’s Mercedes-Benz Unimog not too far away.
Upon closer inspection, Bai Wei and Luo Qinghe seemed to be talking about something. Although she couldn’t make out what they were saying, their animated gestures and stern expressions suggested they were likely arguing.
Fu Han hesitated whether she should go down and try to mediate. It was the right thing to mediate, but key issues remained, and she had no experience. What if her mediation made things worse, causing the couple to escalate from Heavenly Thunder to fierce battle? How would that end for her, becoming the villain in the scenario?
